KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 20 (Bernama) -- The 28th China Yangling Agricultural High-tech Fair, often referred to as the ‘Agricultural Olympics’, will be held from Oct 22 to 26 in Yangling, Shaanxi Province.

The five-day event features 12 major activities, including a round-table conference on the development of modern agriculture among Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) member states.

In July 1997, Yangling became the first agricultural high-tech industry demonstration zone in China. Since that time, a demonstration base for agricultural technology exchange and training has been established in Yangling for the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO).
